What about this (untested WAG):

typeof(&(a[0])) __x = a; // a must be pointer or array

I've changed to using a static inline function that accepts two 'const char *' arguments and returns a 'char *' (casting internally to avoid the compiler warning), which took care of the issue.

Ah, yes, inline better than macro :-). I'd note that, from your example usage, it sounds like your return should also be const.
